Public is thanked over NHS survey

HEALTH officials in the districts of Newark and Sherwood and in Mansfield and Ashfield are thanking people for their feedback.

During November and December patients, the public and staff were asked what they think about a series of proposals that would help health and social care work together more effectively.

The proposals include providing health and social care services in or near people's homes wherever possible so that they don't need to travel to hospital so often, and making it easier to access urgent care.

Robert Ferris-Rogers, director of engagement and service redesign for the NHS Newark and Sherwood Clinical Commissioning Group said: "We'd like to thank everyone who got involved with our events and discussions about Better Together. We had some really useful feedback which will help us as we plan to improve services in the area."
